Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live on
another planet? Not just inside a space capsule but actually Living on its
surface, swimming in its oceans, climbing its mountains and relaxing in the
sun.
There are not any other planets like this in our solar system, but there
may be some somewhere out there in this endless universe. What does it actually take for there to be a
planet livable for humans? For this web project I am going to
build another
world. This process of building worlds (worldbuilding) is very useful for
science fiction writers and hobbyists to accurately create planets that sustain
life.
Scientists
interested in finding life need to know what to look for. The first
thing they do when looking for livable planets is try to find one in the
Habitable zone.
If a planet is actually in the habitable zone it must also have a similar size to earth in order to not crush its inhabitants.
Lastly, planets that have a moon or more are more safe from flying space objects which would harm inhabitatns.
